Everett Blunck

Everett Blunck is a breakout American actor who achieved widespread critical acclaim in 2025 for his lead role in the psychological thriller The Plague. Born and raised in Bozeman, Montana, Blunck began his career with supporting roles in films such as The Old Way (2023) and Blood for Dust (2024). He entered the spotlight with a prolific 2024–2025 season, starting with his performance as a precocious playwright in the indie comedy-drama Griffin in Summer, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. This momentum carried him into the lead role of Ben in Charlie Polinger's directorial debut, where his portrayal of a socially anxious 12-year-old caught in a harrowing cycle of adolescent hazing was hailed as one of the year's most vulnerable and impactful performances. His work in The Plague has earned him significant recognition during the 2025–2026 awards circuit. Blunck was a joint winner of the Best Actor award at the Sitges Film Festival, a collective honor given to the film's entire young ensemble. Additionally, he received a nomination for Best Lead Performance at the 2026 Film Independent Spirit Awards and a Best Young Actor nomination at the Critics Choice Awards. Industry critics have praised his ability to convey internal conflict and the "infectious" nature of adolescent panic, often comparing his early career trajectory to that of established stars like Mia Wasikowska. Following the film’s success, Blunck has transitioned into high-profile television, currently starring in the AMC series The Audacity alongside Zach Galifianakis and Sarah Goldberg.
